Emperor Phoenix Policy: Feng Qingtian

Chapter 296 My Heart!

Knowing that Li Qing died in childbirth and the child was lost, Feng Jin summoned Shen Wenqing into the palace.

"Wen Qing, something like this happened in your house, let me slow down my previous layout for a while, you deal with Li Qing and the child's matter first."

Shen Wenqing's eyes flashed, "Didn't Your Majesty say that he would go to the south of the Yangtze River, leave the imperial capital, and lure Prime Minister Pei out?"

"But in your house..."

Feng Jin's slender black eyebrows were slightly frowned, and Shen Wenqing said softly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Wenqing will also help Li Qing's spirit to return to Jiangnan for burial, and it will not delay His Majesty's business."

Feng Jin sighed, and cast a gloomy glance at Shen Wenqing, "Since you have already made a decision, then proceed according to the plan."

Shen Wenqing responded, then resigned and left to arrange matters to go to the south of the Yangtze River.

"Wen Qing."

As soon as he walked to the door, he heard the Queen calling his name softly, Shen Wenqing couldn't help but turn her head, and saw the Queen's beautiful pale cheeks flashing a yellowish luster under the afterglow of the setting sun, "Wenqing, I am sorry for you. "

"Why did your Majesty say this?"

"If it wasn't for my arrangement, you wouldn't be living in the palace all the time these days. If you could go back to Shen's residence, maybe Li Qing wouldn't have a difficult delivery, and the child would be fine."

Speaking of children, perhaps it was because it was difficult for her to conceive, Feng Jin felt very sad.

Shen Wenqing was about to blurt out the truth, and tried her best to hold back at the critical moment. He will solve Li Qing's matter, and the specific queen doesn't need to know.

She always thought that he and Li Qing had a deep relationship, but she didn't know that there were so many conspiracies and calculations going on here.

If she knew that he was the one who angered Li Qing to death, she might feel that he was too vicious.

"Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with Your Majesty. Li Qing was born in an abnormal fetal position and dystocia. Wen Qing was already mentally prepared."

Seeing that Feng Jin's expression was still sad and remorseful, Shen Wenqing hurriedly changed the subject, "Your Majesty, if Pei Xiang really has a plan to make trouble while he is away from the imperial capital, what should your majesty do?"

"This is the last chance I gave him. If he is restless, he can't blame me. There are more than 300 members of the Pei clan, and they all have to be buried with him for his ambition!"

A look of ruthlessness flashed across Feng Jin's face, Shen Wenqing's heart trembled, she stopped speaking, but secretly thought in her heart, His Majesty played such a big game of chess, fell ill on purpose, stayed ill for more than two months, and handed over the power to Xiang Xiang again Here, he deliberately went to Jiangnan and left the imperial capital, just to draw out Prime Minister Pei's ambition.

Would it be too cruel to do so?

If Pei Xiang hadn't withstood the temptation and really caused trouble, I'm afraid this powerful minister who has dominated the Great Zhou for so many years would fall down suddenly.

Afraid that Shen Wenqing would think too much, Feng Jin smiled slightly, and withdrew the ruthless expression on his face, "Of course I hope that he will live in peace, talent is rare, and I only give him chances over and over again, if someone else... "

Shen Wenqing felt that the queen's methods were a bit ruthless, but at the same time she was a little envious of Prime Minister Pei. If it was an ordinary person, how could the queen put so much effort into it?For example, if he angered the empress, the empress might not give him opportunities one after another.

On the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, the empress became more and more ill, coughing up blood again and again, and the imperial capital was cold. Doctor Zhang suggested that the empress go to the warm south of the Yangtze River to recuperate.

The queen refused again and again, but in the end she was no match for the kneeling begging of all civil and military officials, and she agreed.

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, the Queen's car left from the south gate, and all civil and military officials knelt to send the Queen away from Beijing.

The north wind is cold, and there have been several heavy snowfalls in the imperial capital. Fortunately, the sun is shining today, which is a rare good weather.

"Pei Qing."

The Queen's weak voice came from the extremely luxurious carriage. Pei Xiu took a few steps forward and said softly through the curtain of the carriage, "What else does Your Majesty want?"

"Pei Qing, I have entrusted Da Zhou to you, don't let me down."

The queen coughed again and again, and it took a while to stop. Hearing that her lungs were about to come out from the cough, Pei Xiu's heart was always tugging.

"Your Majesty, you are coughing up blood again, Imperial Physician Liu will show you to Your Majesty."

The exclamation of the green clothes came from the carriage.

Imperial Physician Zhang was old and unable to travel long distances. This time, he did not follow the Queen to Jiangnan, but his disciple, Imperial Physician Liu who had just entered the Imperial Hospital, accompanied him.

It took a long time to calm down in the hustle and bustle of the carriage. Pei Xiu's heart was clenched tightly, and she wanted to go into the carriage to have a look, but she didn't dare to enter without His Majesty's order, and she was afraid of disturbing Doctor Liu's consultation.

"I'm fine, you don't have to worry, I've entrusted the great Zhou country and people to you, and I ask you to be diligent in state affairs, and don't let me worry about it."

"The ministers obey the order."

The ministers knelt down on the ground.

Shen Wenqing rode over and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, it's getting late, it's time to set off."

Feng Jin's weak voice came from inside the carriage, "Let's go."

Shen Wenqing flicked his horsewhip and said loudly, "Let's go!"

Watching the carriage gradually go away, Pei Xiu stood at the gate of the city, staring straight at her eyes, until the carriage disappeared on the official road, Pei Xiu did not look back.

"Master Xiang, His Majesty is not in the imperial capital, without His Majesty suppressing Lord Xiang, shall we..."

Li Yi moved closer to Pei Xiu, and said with bright eyes.

Pei Xiu took a deep look at him, "This is the gate of the city! People come and go! Keep your mouth shut!"

Li Yi's complexion changed. Seeing the old fox Qi standing not far away, looking at them with a smile, Li Yi knew that he had slipped his words, and said in shame, "I know, Mr. Xiang, calm down."

Driving all the way south, the weather became warmer and warmer, but after a few days of driving, I felt a great difference.

Feng Jin seldom gets out of the carriage, this time Lvyi followed her to the south of the Yangtze River, and Aunt Zhong stayed in the palace.

Lvyi seldom went out of the palace, let alone a long trip, she was so excited all the way, as soon as she left the boundary of the imperial capital, she immediately opened the curtain to look out, and after a few days of the carriage, she watched it for a few days.

"Look, Your Majesty, the trees here have not yet shed their leaves."

"What's so strange about this? When you arrive in the south of the Yangtze River, you will know that there are many green trees. If you have the opportunity to go to the land of Nanyi, it will be like spring all year round, warm and pleasant."

"Your Majesty also knows the land of Nanyi?"

Shen Wenqing's voice came from outside the car curtain. This time, he helped Li Qing's coffin back to the south of the Yangtze River, but he did not accompany the supporting team. Instead, he was always in the queen's team. objection.

"It is written in the book that the land of Nanyi has no snow all year round, the winter is warm, the summer is hot, and the trees are green all year round."

"Wen Qing has traveled to Nanyi, and it is indeed as His Majesty said."

"There is nothing left and right, and the carriage is spacious, so come in and talk about it."

With the Queen's permission, Shen Wenqing abandoned the horse and got into the carriage.

Along the way, Shen Wenqing talked about the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River and what he had seen and heard from his travels when he was a teenager. The itinerary was not difficult.

Shen Wenqing talked excitedly, and Lv Yi listened with gusto, Feng Jin was flipping through a book while looking outside.

Through the curtain of the car, she couldn't see anything, but she could feel that someone was following the team.

As soon as the car drove out of the city gate, the man followed, not far or near all the way, did nothing, just followed.

The deputy leader also sensed that someone was following, and wanted to go to find out who was so daring to follow the Queen's car all the way, but was stopped by Feng Jin.

"This is the official way, maybe the other party just happens to follow this way, so don't disturb him."

Although the deputy leader didn't understand why Feng Jin was like this, he didn't dare not listen to Feng Jin's words.

As soon as he left, Lvyi muttered, "Your Majesty is not afraid that the man is here to assassinate? I followed all the way to find out about His Majesty's whereabouts, as well as the number and arrangement of the guards."

Feng Jin smiled without saying a word, as if he didn't hear Lu Yi's muttering.

Lu Yi wanted to remind her a few more words, but she saw Shen Wenqing secretly winking at her. Lu Yi blinked in confusion, and Shen Wenqing pouted in the direction of the queen.

Lu Yi followed Shen Wenqing's gaze and saw that although the Queen was reading, her eyes were wandering, and the pages of the book hadn't been turned for a long time, as if she had something on her mind.

"If your majesty is tired, lie down and rest for a while."

As Lu Yi said, she went to get the book in Feng Jin's hand. Feng Jin smiled at her, "I'm not tired, and I don't want to rest, I think I'll just stay awake like this."

Luyi felt that the queen's smile was a little tranced, and felt that she had something on her mind. She wanted to ask, but she didn't dare to ask.

At dusk, when she arrived at the other courtyard where she was staying, Feng Jin was still in a trance. Even when the government officials greeted her, it took her a while to react.

Shen Wenqing and Lvyi looked at each other, and they both saw worry in each other's eyes.

At night, just as Lvyi was about to close her clothes and sleep on the bench under the empress's bed, the empress said, "I want to be alone, so please step down, Lvyi."

"But, this is outside the palace, in case..."

"Get out!"

Lvyi bit her lip, lowered her head and stepped back.

The night was getting darker, and everything was still. On the bed behind the light veil, the empress took a long breath and had already slept peacefully.

A gust of wind blew from nowhere, and a figure appeared silently.
